@wispera If philzz2 is serious, he's a 10 on the scale of ignorance. If he's kidding, he's a 10 on the scale of stupidity and a 0 on the scale of humor for cracking such a joke about this performance.
Yo pensaba que no me gustava la ópera, que errado estaba, Caruso cantando esa ária de Puccini me dió la medida de grandeza de esta obra grandiosa, y él, Enrico, es el más grande tenor de todos los tiempos, no es posible compararlo con nadie
El enorme volumen de emoción que deja transparecer en su canto es simplemente angelical
Are you kidding me? For me Caruso in "E lucevan le stelle" is MUCH MUCH BETTER than Domingo even with a view to so much poor record's technic of his time.
Ma ci rendiamo conto della stupidità dei MELOMANI com'è possibile giudicare Caruso da questa registrazione ?? Voglio sperare che il vero valore di Caruso sia stato ben superiore rispetto a quello che traspare in questa registrazione che a mio modestissimo parere è molto povera. E come io non l'ho ascoltato dal vivo nessuno di voi GALLINE DA FATTORIA l'ha fatto, tuttavia egli si chiama Caruso e dunque dev'essere necessariamente insuperabile......TACETE CAPRE!!!
I miti nascono e purtroppo rimangono per sempre, ai giorni d'oggi se cantasse in un qualsiasi teatro verrebbe subbissato di fischi, una interpretazione quasi ridicola, naturalmente giudicata così oggi 29- 06-2011
@mauroangelucci Caruso was the1st interpreter&originator for all the operas & songs sung in the new style that he brought forward.The tenors that followed him,emulated&learned from Caruso because of his excellent interpretations&style where by Caruso didn't have anyone to learn from.Caruso is the stepping stone for every tenor that followed, including Pavarotti Corelli Del Monaco DiStefano Gigli Martinelli Lauri Volpi.These are tenors with big Egos & would only yield to say that Caruso was best
@mauroangelucci Dear Mauro, If you think about it. What is really (ridicolo)is the way the operas are presented today with beautiful scenery&for the most part BAD voices.Tenors that are singing Forza that should be singing Traviata.Audiences that applaud at bad performances.Where fair singers are hailed as the greatest ever.I therefore would take Enrico Caruso today and would think that EC would adjust his 107year old, great historical interpretation to something even better today.Enjoy
@fastborzoi I think your right. I would have liked to have heard Pavarotti or some other modern tenor sing this in the recording tecniques that Caruso was subjected to .
@mattarex 1904. He did quite a few arias in that session which I consider the best recording session ever by a tenor. Listen to his 1904 'Una furtiva lagrima' if you want to hear an amazing performance.
@radiactivo357 Fleta is very good, but nobody beats Caruso on this aria. Just remember who Puccini's tenor was. The question remains about who did it who's way. I'll bet Caruso did it his own way and blew Puccini away in the process.
LOOOOOVE his chest tones. Many of his recordings sound a bit thin, but it wasn't his voice obviously. Caruso's voice was unusually "audiogenic" and recorded better than most, without that flattened effect of horn recording or early terrible microphones. The gramophone loved him, obviously. Oh, that sob at the end!
Did I understand correctly that someone has dared compare the clown Villazon to the grand Maestro Caruso? Now that is an egregious assault to good taste. The name Villazon should never be uttered in the same sentence as Caruso.
Enrico Caruso's vocal abilities were very very unique.... almost quite divine in some Aria's & they still grace us today due to early recording technology & collectors...
Thankyou for uploading this crude but brilliantly true recording " _ "
Though Bjoerling's is my favorite version of this aria, there is no competing with the beauty of this incredible voice. The purity of emotion and raw energy is stunning to say the least...there is a reason that Caruso was the King of Tenors in his day...
@fahuudy This is the way Wiki translates it: How the stars used to shine there, How sweet the earth smelled, The orchard gate would creak, And a footstep would lightly crease the sand. She'd come in, fragrant as a flower, And she'd fall into my arms. Oh! sweet kisses, oh! lingering caresses, Trembling, I'd slowly uncover her dazzling beauty. Now, my dream of love has vanished forever. My last hour has flown, and I die, hopeless! And never have I loved life more!
Comparing Caruso to other tenors doesn't IMO make much sense. Why not just emotionally EXPERIENCE his performance.
I mean listen and experience without at the same time listening to and comparing to some other tenor (that you know well) in the back of your head. If you can do that, you will be able to hear and experience Enrico Caruso - his unique voice and the beauty of his soul.
accidenti emozionante davvero, la dizione è fantastica forse una delle più comprensibili e chiare che io abbia mai sentito. Il timbro la capacit di modulazione sono altrettanto spettacolari. Bellissimo
Some post got my attention to Jussi Björling I never heard of him before. I like his voice I found on Youtube a video where is singing acapella. Impressive!
Search for "Jussi Björling singing acapella " (not allowed posting any link on Youtube)
The velvet voice and intense empathy of Enrico Caruso has - in general (with few exceptions) - IMO never been matched by any later tenor. Gigli, Björling, Lanza, Wunderlich, Domingo, Pavaroti, etc. - all great and very much appreciated for their beautiful art, but the deep empathetic quality of Enrico Caruso's singing is for me unique.
recording technology of his era does not do him justice. however it is all that remain of him as fewer and fewer people who have seen him live are still with us
@clarification007: No, he will be memorized as himself. Not because Pavarotti sang a tribute to him. Pavarotti did sing "Caruso" with great passion and it is a great song and a great tribute to Enrico Caruso (most people don't even now this, great that you do!). Caruso created the basis for the singing of the "modern tenor" and will never be forgotten. Which other tenor from 1902 do you find on YT?
there is something v powerful about these old recordings, no added digital whatsit just the artist and his voice and what a voice just hear the emotion
well i dont really know but, i think most of the song and including the chorus part, is sang in Fa, always or most in Fa of mol, and even the higher notes...well i dontreally know, im not a music teacher haahha, what do youu think youtubers?, thanks!
So sad that music companies spend all their time and money trying to find the next Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber and so little trying to find someone who can sing like this. Such a shame we lived in different eras Caruso, it would have been a privilege - in every meaning of the word - to hear you sing live.
@pkclassics please don't play the fool! 1-st, Gaga has nothing to do side by side with J Bieb, they have nothing common. 2-nd, pop and classic are completely different sorts of music and can't be compared. 3-rd, GaGa owns a stunning, fantastic voice too, shes a GREAT talent without any doubt. Statements like yours only needle and haven't any sense, they show a narrow mind and ignorance. Every time has its tastes. Pavarotti himself is more open minded- see his concerts "Pav. and friends"

pavarotti & caruso sings more, tosca or rigoletto?,... their voices what give more?, or almost equal for both??, thanks... tosca is harder isnt?, than rigolettot?thanks
pavarotti y caruso que cantaban más, tosca o rigoletto?,... su voz q daban mas? o ambas parejas??? gracias, la tosca es más fuerte no?? q el rigoletto
AAHH - 1:35 marks that unbridgeable gap between singers, oh whom there are so many, and true musicians, oh whom there are so few! Pvarotti is the only other tenor who has reached these heights in this piece since.
AAAH - 1:35 marks that unbridgeable gap between singer, of whom there are many, and musicians, of whom there are so few! Incredible - Only Pavarotti has been able to reach this height in this aria since.
Caruso (like Domingo) never was able to do the C3 high note, but also like Domingo his voice was in the lower tenor registers (or was possibly a natural Baritone like Domingo).
That detracts nothing from his greatness, he once sang in a plaza de toros in Mexico city, he could be heard perfectly from the top seats no microfones were used. His acting ability was awesome according to those who saw him live in an Opera house, all we can get now is his voice but even that little is still incredible.
The dimenuendo at 1:35 is worth the price of admission. So there he was in a little room, singing into some kind of 'horn' with a cheap piano in the background and he was a 'god'. We are so lucky to be able to hear it today. Thank you!
I checked out Schipa's and it is an amazing dimenuendo. I must, con tutto rispetto, stand by my man Caruso. Guess there are plenty of tenors to go around!!!
@goodboybuddy1, and Fellow Students, why are we being PUNISHED? almost a century since this voice was stilled and NOBODY can touch him. there was a wonderful "I don't know what you call it" at 1:48. We must be doing something wrong to be denied another VOICE like this.
@goodboybuddy1 And it's yet more inspiring when you realize that a recording like this actually masks and hides the quality of the voice. Caruso was yet more brilliant than he sounds in this recording.
@witness124: Amazing, isn't it? I hope it becomes possible in the near future for a computer to extract the exact sound of his voice from the tinny recordings he left behind. We are so lucky to have these recordings to give us an idea of how great he was. At least the emotion comes through loud and clear.
@witness124 I agree completely. There is just a certain poignancy about the circumstances of the recording and what is communicated in spite of what we do not hear.
Caruso es una mito real, un mito viviente, no es un mito creado. Es como la Ferrari de Fl, un mito, una leyenda, pero real viviente, no inventado o creado,
Ellicantropo: La canción se llama Napoles y sigue así: "Y así dos palabras te pusiste a escribrir e inventaste está canción que creada en Surriento ahora todo el mundo la sabe cantar." Esta canción napolitana se refieren en estos versos a la composición de la canción Caruso de Luccio Dalla
I like Caruso's version here. The first half feels so lonely, then his poem inspires his passion and he's faces his fate. When Caruso gets to "L'ora è fuggita, e muoio disperato!" you feel his desperation and loss.
Overall Caruso is a little self-indulgent with his interpretation. 2:28 is a bit of drama that would have pulled me onto my feet if I had seen it live. On a recording it seems a little contrived. Even so, I feel like everyone does this aria the same these days. Bravo!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yes he was 'The Great Caruso' and we all applaude him.
However, Bjorling's rendition is somewhat better. But then you wouldn't know
And by the way, Mactopolis, you have the musical taste of a retard. From your other postings on other pages, I gather that you are a sad, pathetic middle-aged tosser. I suggest you aim your comments at Paul Potts, since you are both a pair of wankers.
how you can say that bjorling is better? you know that caruso was recorded in the really early 1900...? so you have to think this voice and this interpretation 100 times more big...try to record your voice with the early 1900 tecnic...you will hear only a little noise :D
Luciano ha sido, un gran alumno aventajado, pero el maestro ha sido carusso. Lo tenia todo, técnica, potencia, un timbre impresionante y transmitía un sentimiento, y ahi radica la diferencia creo yo , que Luciano nunca ha podido igualar. Viva la opera!
ellicantropo:¿ porque estás tan seguro que no es el mas grande? Detestas que se creen mitos pero Caruso no es un mito creado, Caruso es un mito precisamente porque es el mas grande de todos.
Como dice una canción napolitana " Una noche, en una barca en Sorrento, en un mar elegante vestido de azul, bajo un cielo tapizado de estrellas, en una vieja terraza, alguien cantó, una voz cantaba para mi, no veía a nadie porqué, era el canto del Gran Caruso que al mar se lo había quedado para él"
I think you people sometimes don;t realize that Caruso did these recordings 100 years ago .. all other tenors u mention learned how to sing by listening Caruso . he was extraordinary . I could describe him something like "Maria Callas in trousers"
Unfortanely we only have only old bad quality recordings. I believe Caruso was a marvel, but even despite recording quality, I belive Placido Domingo has done this best.
Kraus is a lirico-leggero. Himself admit He is not suitable for this role. Of course, Kraus is perhaps the best tenor of all times and he is alwais tecnically PERFECT. In this aria i prefer Domingo.
Honestly, I was wondering how to comment this...superb voice, but with all due respect, in my opinion, everything else in this performance is barely average by todays standards.
Anyway, 2:28 made me rolling on the floor laughing...literally...

E lucevan le stelle... Ed olezzava la terra... Stridea l'uscio dell'orto... E un passo sfiorava la rena... Entrava ella, fragrante, Mi cadea fra le braccia... Oh! dolci baci, o languide carezze, Mentr'io fremente Le belle forme disciogliea dai veli! Svanì per sempre il sogno mio d'amore... L'ora è fuggita... E muoio disperato! E muoio disperato! E non ho amato mai tanto la vita!... Tanto la vita!...
Pavarotti Corelli Gigli Di Stefano Del Monaco Bjorling Lanza Kraus Alagna Domingo Carreras I think they is a choice! They are better!!! Caruso was good no doubt.
Splendida voce e spendida interpretazione. A mio parere ( assieme a Domingo, Corelli e Bonisolli ) il miglior tenore drammatico di tutti i tempi. Ciao !
Forget the quality of the recording.The emotion Caruso creates is breathtaking.It brings tears to your eyes

@goodboybuddy1 I certainly agree with the diminuendo at 1:35, I get goosebumps when I hear it...

@goodboybuddy1, and Fellow Students, why are we being PUNISHED? almost a century since this voice was stilled and NOBODY can touch him. there was a wonderful "I don't know what you call it" at 1:48. We must be doing something wrong to be denied another VOICE like this.

@goodboybuddy1 And it's yet more inspiring when you realize that a recording like this actually masks and hides the quality of the voice. Caruso was yet more brilliant than he sounds in this recording.

@witness124: Amazing, isn't it? I hope it becomes possible in the near future for a computer to extract the exact sound of his voice from the tinny recordings he left behind. We are so lucky to have these recordings to give us an idea of how great he was. At least the emotion comes through loud and clear.
wiseroldfart 1 year ago
@witness124 I agree completely. There is just a certain poignancy about the circumstances of the recording and what is communicated in spite of what we do not hear.

Caruso es una mito real, un mito viviente, no es un mito creado. Es como la Ferrari de Fl, un mito, una leyenda, pero real viviente, no inventado o creado,

Ellicantropo: La canción se llama Napoles y sigue así: "Y así dos palabras te pusiste a escribrir e inventaste está canción que creada en Surriento ahora todo el mundo la sabe cantar." Esta canción napolitana se refieren en estos versos a la composición de la canción Caruso de Luccio Dalla

This is the original Tosca as Puccini conceived it. Raw grief. Only Caruso conveys it.
The Tosca we hear today is glossy, safe, and shallow by comparison. So it will sell recordings.

I like Caruso's version here. The first half feels so lonely, then his poem inspires his passion and he's faces his fate. When Caruso gets to "L'ora è fuggita, e muoio disperato!" you feel his desperation and loss.
Overall Caruso is a little self-indulgent with his interpretation. 2:28 is a bit of drama that would have pulled me onto my feet if I had seen it live. On a recording it seems a little contrived. Even so, I feel like everyone does this aria the same these days. Bravo!

Yes he was 'The Great Caruso' and we all applaude him.
However, Bjorling's rendition is somewhat better. But then you wouldn't know
And by the way, Mactopolis, you have the musical taste of a retard. From your other postings on other pages, I gather that you are a sad, pathetic middle-aged tosser. I suggest you aim your comments at Paul Potts, since you are both a pair of wankers.

how you can say that bjorling is better? you know that caruso was recorded in the really early 1900...? so you have to think this voice and this interpretation 100 times more big...try to record your voice with the early 1900 tecnic...you will hear only a little noise :D

Luciano ha sido, un gran alumno aventajado, pero el maestro ha sido carusso. Lo tenia todo, técnica, potencia, un timbre impresionante y transmitía un sentimiento, y ahi radica la diferencia creo yo , que Luciano nunca ha podido igualar. Viva la opera!

ellicantropo:¿ porque estás tan seguro que no es el mas grande? Detestas que se creen mitos pero Caruso no es un mito creado, Caruso es un mito precisamente porque es el mas grande de todos.
Como dice una canción napolitana " Una noche, en una barca en Sorrento, en un mar elegante vestido de azul, bajo un cielo tapizado de estrellas, en una vieja terraza, alguien cantó, una voz cantaba para mi, no veía a nadie porqué, era el canto del Gran Caruso que al mar se lo había quedado para él"

Kraus is a lirico-leggero. Himself admit He is not suitable for this role. Of course, Kraus is perhaps the best tenor of all times and he is alwais tecnically PERFECT. In this aria i prefer Domingo.
